Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was ordered to be held in a “separate” facility after he was escorted to jail on obstruction of justice charges Friday.

The court order states that “the defendant shall be confined in a corrections facility separate, to the extent practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or being held in custody pending appeal.”

It also directs that Manafort have access to “private consultation with counsel,” and that he be delivered by a United States marshal for court proceedings.

Manafort faces charges of money laundering and failing to register as a foreign agent in connection to his Ukraine-related work, tax evasion, bank fraud and failing to report foreign bank accounts.

U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson on Friday revoked Manafort’s house arrest — which began when he was indicted in October.

He was booked into Northern Neck Regional Jail, where he’s listed as a VIP, jail records show.

He will remain in pretrial detention until his September trial on charges stemming from his business dealings.
